Softball:
Pascack Valley 1, Holy Angels 0
Tuesday afternoon marked Senior Day for Pascack Valley
softball. The players who have dedicated four years to this program were being
rewarded for their hard work and persistence.
However, on a day dedicated to the seniors, Freshman Alex
Pleasic stole the show.
She pitched a complete game shutout while recording 11
strikeouts and a couple of hits along the way. The hardest ball hit off her was
when the leadoff hitter blasted one into the left-center field gap.
Centerfielder Christina DiBella kept her eye on the ball the whole way and made
a fantastic running catch.
From that point on, Pleasic dominated the lineup of Holy
Angels and continued her stellar freshman campaign.
On the offensive end, this was a subpar performance for
Pascack Valley. With that being said, the way that Pleasic was pitching, all
the Indians needed was a single run.
They were able to manufacture that run in the 4th.
Christina DiBella led off the inning with a single and stole second with ease.
DiBella got to third on a sacrifice bunt and Pleasic came to the plate, hoping
to help herself with her bat. She did just that, hitting a sacrifice fly to
centerfield that was deep enough to score DiBella. That was the lone run of the
game and the only one Pascack Valley would need.
Pascack Valley played one of its most crisp games of the
year when it mattered most. The pitching was dominant, the fielder slick, and
they were able to do enough at the plate to get by.
If I was one of the seniors on this Pascack Valley team, I
will remember this one for years to come. Good luck to all the seniors
graduating this year and good luck in your future endeavors.
Record: 10-10
Next Game: Wednesday,
May 18th at 5 PM against Northern Highlands (Home)
